EITR is an abbreviation for "embryonic ichor telluric rudiment" in Genshin ImpactThis is one of the most mysterious legacies of ancient Hyperborea: an artifact created for experiments on the very nature of life. Its traces lead to the forbidden research of the Hyperboreans, Pavlina's experiments in Snezhnaya, and to the final events in which it played a vital role.
What is EITR in Genshin Impact?
EITR is the result of ancient research Hyperborea, aimed at altering the very essence of life. Surviving records describe it as an advanced form of the "primordial chimera"—an artificial organ used to fuse the biological embryos of different creatures. Unlike a regular chimera, the rudiment is capable of absorbing embryos and directly transforming their properties, without generating several separate internal circulatory systems.
Therefore, EITR was considered a key element in the project to create a perfect life form. The Hyperboreans sought to create a creature that could combine the various properties of organisms while maintaining a unified internal system. However, the capabilities of the rudimentary material proved so broad that ancient scientists began to seek ways to separate the acquired characteristics from the creatures it created.
History
Traces of EITR have been preserved in Sphere of Shadows — a subspace where the ruins of ancient Hyperborea lie. It was there, during his expeditions, that the White Tsar discovered a rudiment—the fruit of the forbidden research of a vanished civilization. The alchemist Koschei and Princess Pavlina later took up the discovery. Messages from the Eye of Grai indicate that, with the help of the EITR, she could imbue the snowman's body with power beyond that of his race.
The most famous case is history Snowman DonskoyBefore the battle with the spawn of the Abyss, Pavlina implanted the EITR found in Hyperborea into his body. During the battle, Donskoy unleashed the power of the rudiment and, having gained unprecedented strength, began to grow uncontrollably, and his soul was damaged. Pavlina brought her kinsman to the castle and began healing him, but later chained him for hundreds of years in a hut near Svetloledovka until Donskoy finally found peace.
This case shows that the rudiment interferes with the very process of life formation and is capable of giving the organism a power that it cannot bear.
Currently,
During events of Snezhnaya EITR found himself at the center of the action again. At the end of the mission "Black feathers that fell at the hour of farewell" mortally wounded Ronova took the rudiment from the Shadow Sphere and used it as part of her final plan: before her death, she placed the EITR in one of the Heavenly Thorns - a column Celestia over Snowy — and called it her “parting gift.”
Ronova thereby activated the Heavenly Spikes in different regions of Teyvat: they began to glow and hum, and heroes of different nations noticed alarming changes due to anomaliesThe rudiment created by Hyperborea continues to influence the world eons after the civilization's demise, and its fate and the consequences of its use remain one of the greatest mysteries of modern history.
